I thought the logs were so easy to calculate this would be a single
standard function in Stata. I suppose you thought: if they are so easy
to calculate why write a function.

You hardly need any such function. The recipe
log(x) / log(2) or log10(x) / log10(2) will suffice.
For example,
. di log(8) / log(2)
3
Strictly just one log function is enough, but -log10()-
is a convenience for those preferring the unnatural.
